OOC INTROS + PLOTTING

Intros & Plotting
NEW PLAYERS
Welcome to Aion Teleos! This is our CR meme, for old and new players alike to introduce themselves and to begin plotting for the month ahead. As you're settling into the game, here are a few things you should note:

NEW PLAYER NOTES:
◆ SECT ATTUNEMENT: New characters will have to declare their sect attunements on the Attunement page. Those who are starting in the Kenoma will be attuned as of the start of their introduction, but those who have been taken by the Pleroma may take up until the end of the month to do so. Alternatively, they can attune almost immediately if they are unconflicted about their desire to fight the Regent. The main restriction caused by not attuning to the Pleroma right away will be that unattuned characters cannot travel to the Greentruth rebellion stronghold.

◆ NETWORK (COMMUNION): As soon as a character is attuned to either the Pleroma or the Kenoma, they will be able to access Communion, Aion Teleos's network system. This is written about in the game's info pages, but more details can be found here. This skill can be found by accident or taught by another character.

◆ AION GLAMORS: To help ease gameplay for characters who will stick out like a sore thumb in the setting, we want to make it known that there will be a relatively weak 'glamor' type spell available to learn in Greentruth for new Pleroma. This will have to be pursued ICly, but it is out there, and will be achievable by Tier 1 attunement.


CHARACTER INTRO MINGLES
There will be no mod posted mingle log set up for new players; instead, we are encouraging veteran characters to set up mingles in the various game locations. Our reasoning for this is that, at least on the Pleroma side, there is no set mingle point that will be, by default, accessible to all characters, meaning that some IC thought and proactivity will have to go into how best to accommodate them. Additionally, this will be an opportunity for characters to ICly flex their leadership skills and receive IC reputation (and a small IC gift) for doing so. If you make a mingle log, makes sure to include it in your notable actions on your AC!

We won't leave you entirely without direction, though! Below are some ideas to get people started, and to give an idea of what the environment in each location will be. We will be happy to answer any questions and help with logistics where needed. Alongside this, new players are welcome to make their own open posts on the logs comm.

◆ ACHAMOTH: Once new arrivals have accepted the Kenoma, they will be welcomed into the Citadel along with the rest of their kindred. Most things in the "A Deity's Welcome" and "Exploration" prompts of this log will still apply (we will be converting all of this into a separate info page ASAP but we haven't had the time this month) and so it can be referenced to get an idea of accommodations. The major difference is the lack of dinner time with the Regent; according to their apparent second in command (Xishen, for those that know her), they are preoccupied at the moment, and have asked for the other Kenoma to take charge when it comes to catching up the new recruits. All of Achamoth's facilities and resources are at their disposal to do so.

Achamoth's citizens are as excited as ever to see fresh Aion faces, and will be quick to prostrate themselves before their new gods. They will be eager to offer places for the Kenoma Aions to meet in. Though it is now the Innocent's Moon, it largely goes unremarked on by the residents here, and if it is, only scornfully.

◆ GODSBLOOD: Once the shrines have stopped producing hatchlings, Godsblood will be the first stop for most Pleroma newcomers. By either swimming up through the ocean waters or taking a series of narrow tunnels to the surface, they will find themselves on this edge of this coastal city. It is much the same as it is in this linked post, though the Lover's Festival is now over. While most Aions are capable of blending in thanks to Horos's highly diverse biology, those that are taurs or completely non-mammalian may need some help from other Pleroma to get around without arousing suspicion. Godsblood resists the Regent's control, but it is far from completely safe. Characters may have to work together to find a place to house these new arrivals, whether that be in a safe part of the city or the nearby mountains.

There are seemingly no large festivals planned for the month of Inoseri, but in contrast with the Moon of the Innocent, there does seem to be a sense of unrest. Word of the conflicts at the shrines is spreading around, along with the realization that both Aion sects are now active. It's an ill portent for those old enough to remember the last Aion war. Regardless of the Pleroma's intent, there are those among the people here that resent the fact that their resistance may bring about another era of suffering, and will be suspicious of any new faces they see. At the same time, there are those that are enticed by this new chance to hope, and may be willing to put themselves on the line to see it flourish.

◆ GREENTRUTH: Only those that have officially attuned to the Pleroma will be able to take the portal to Greentruth, a magical passage hidden in a secure location beneath the city streets. They can be shown the way by those that know it, but discretion is of the utmost concern. Upon arriving in the heart of this rebellion stronghold, they will find the atmosphere is more lively and hopeful than it has been for decades. The resurgence of Kenoma has revitalized the Resistance and travel between Greentruth and the smaller settlements is at an all time high as materials and specialists move where needed. Aions are sought after by locals for insight and advice on larger projects as well as smaller personal notes of interest ranging from disputes between neighbors and what kind of wood would be best for this bow. Aions may not have all the answers, but will be encouraged to engage so they can better establish their presence and gain insight to the inner workings of the forest.

Inoseri is known as a time of peace and serenity, but not for the local wildlife. It's mating season for a species of forest dinosaur that is known for it's loud distinct call. This trumpeting sound can be heard for miles and will be nearly constant at the beginning of the month. This is equally frustrating for Greentruth residents as it is for other fauna. Aions will find that animals are more unruly than usual and hunting will be difficult, so any assistance provided to the Greentruth hunters will be appreciated. They will just have to hope they do not cross paths with a would be dinosaurian suitor.

There will be a mission styled event happening later in the month which will call both sects towards the city of Venera. ICly characters will not become aware of this until the plotting post goes up. Meanwhile, as the month of Inoseri begins, all Innocents will feel a strange sense of presence... almost as if there is someone standing with them, even when they are alone.

PLAYER

NAME: trix
CONTACT: journal PM (or alternatively, you can find me on discord)
FUN FACTS: apparently, owning just one guinea pig in switzerland is considered as animal abuse. you gotta own two, because guinea pigs need company.

CHARACTER

NAME: roxana agriche
CANON: the way to protect the heroine's older brother
LEGACY: sovereign
SECT: kenoma, because the regent needs more pretty girls

CHARACTER PITCH: enter roxana, a college student hit by a truck and got isekai'd into a reverse harem r18 novel as the daughter to the big bad and the sister to the even bigger bad who met her end when the female lead went batshit. she's supposed to meet a terrible end from the vengeance of the lead now that her father's kidnapped the said heroine's older brother, but this is isekai manhwa and she's not going to go down without a fight.

so, you know, she decides to take control of her life by taking the older brother as her toy (stay with me now), gaslighting and seducing him (and managing to get him to fall for her jfc), all the while plotting to free him so as to avoid the trainwreck that's the novel's plot. she just wants peace and quiet, thanks.

DESIRED CR: i'd like to say everything but:
— people she can step on (have i mentioned she loves wearing stiletto heels ............)
— friends. please let her have friends, she's never had friends in canon and the butterflies don't count
— people who get uncomfortable just because she tried to flirt with them for the kicks
— uh, people to feed on—with her butterflies!
— she needs goody-two-shoes to pick on (and dote on, really) :( she's pretty nice and her meanness is really just a facade that she might not even wear 24/7 in horos
— ... let me get back to this later on what else i want for xana


OFFERED CR:
— she has big sister tendencies once she gets to know them better. no protective bone in her body, but she dotes on people she likes.
— she's immune to most poisons because she practices mithridatism. oh, and her blood's poisonous too? have at it, ig.
— want to hide a dead body? she'll happily feed it to her butterflies and then poof, it's gone.
— shopping buddy, ig. she's pretty fashionable where she's from.
— she's trained in all sorts of espionage tactics, from killing people with hairpins to poisoning them to being a honeytrap.
— she is also NOT a vampire, she just takes care of butterflies that eat people ...


PLOT HOOKS: she's firmly placed in kenoma BUT in the novel, she kinda sorta sways towards the side of good (because of a handsome face, but also because her family sucks ass) soooooooooooooo we'll see how that goes. other than that, she'll be kissing ass to the regent for now because that's how you dismantle a system—i mean, get to a higher spot in the food chain, right?

EVENT PLANS: tbd ...

ANYTHING ELSE? work swamped me with stuff so!! if you want to, uh, handwave our tdm thread lmk, otherwise i'll try to get to them this week as i traverse the est timezone.

it's in their genes

but ty miss roxana, truly a goddess amongst women
semicharmed: (are you flirting? (because I am))

[personal profile] semicharmed 2022-05-01 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
um hello roxana is more than welcome to both step on AND flutterby this sweet magical dumdum

As she's seen, Matt's ... super easy to fluster. But he's simultaneously a pretty big hedonist, and he is on board to do a hard reset on the universe, so I feel like there's some interesting potential here!
rappaccini: (pic#15620201)

[personal profile] rappaccini 2022-05-01 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
lmao i was reading matt's abilities and if xana were to find that out, she'll be like ???? why have you never used that

but hello hello, yes she'll definitely fluster the hell out of matt until he explodes
semicharmed: (welp)

[personal profile] semicharmed 2022-05-02 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Matt in theory: sex magic*, can cast hideous curses on people

Matt in practice: 😊😊😊, urban planning

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. Let Operation: Twitterpate commence.

*I mean, he definitely does know and use sex magic, he just tries to keep it under his hat until he knows people a bit better ......

also wow sorry i need to update my info pages, i just gave up at some point last month and never went back

Please forgive me for also losing our TDM thread while workthings were kicking the stuffing out of me, but Roxana seems like such a fascinating character! I gotta admit I don't yet quite know where Gen stands on her (other than thinking she's hot, sighs wearily), but I'd love to get to pester again in a mingle or something if you wouldn't mind!
rappaccini: (pic#15620106)

[personal profile] rappaccini 2022-05-02 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
no worries! i also dropped a lot of balls this month due to surprise workload but hopefully, i can hit up everyone who wants to be uh hit up by roxana.

also ssh gen, he's not alone in thinking she's hot. this is very common where she's from.

Roxana!!!!

I want CR I just don't know exactly how yet. Yuya is a good nice boy but also on the wrong team. OR she could step on Syr, he won't enjoy it but we can make that happen.
rappaccini: (pic#15620006)

[personal profile] rappaccini 2022-05-02 03:19 am (UTC)(link)

Binghe is going to be VERY interested in seeing what happens if her butterflies eat his blood on account of he can control it when it's outside of his body. I'm not sure how that would actually work out for him! but if he gets the opportunity he WILL go for it!
rappaccini: (pic#15620091)

[personal profile] rappaccini 2022-05-02 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
he might not be able since they've been bred to respond to her! but hey, we could always work around it if he has ~blood powers~
devilmancrybaby: <user name=largejohncena site=twitter.com> (blam!)

[personal profile] devilmancrybaby 2022-05-07 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
ohh i misread what you said about them feeding on people lmao... no worries this is all the more incentive for him to see if he can get to them if he finds a way to feed her his blood,
